[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 837990, member: 26505"] Just for information that might ring a bell with somebody, do you have one of the fancy focus point features engaged? I have a helluva time with any of the floating focus points that try to follow action (3D tracking)) or a face or something like that, so I am wondering how you have the camera set up for action shots. Another issue I am thinking about, and I am not sure if it affects the D7500 or you, but Focus Tracking on the D500 is designed to track a subject coming straight at the lens, where the older models tracked the subject going across the FOV and would pick it back up if it was lost behind something. They didn't bother even telling people they changed it, and it was confusing people and screwing up a lot of shots. So, you might want to look at how Focus Tracking is set in your camera. Anyway, I am wondering if part of the issue is how the camera's AF system is acting rather than a lens issue since the D500 was designed for action, and the D7500 is kind of D500-light. I think it takes some fiddling with settings and getting used to it, especially since Nikon decided action shots are for animals running right at you (or soccer players 🙂.) Hope this helps figure something out, rule something out or anything that might get you focused. [/QUOTE]
